Orono <br /> Baseball Association has received sanction from the Little League <br /> organization but they must comply with criteria of the national <br /> Little League Association, such as dugouts. Is very safety <br /> orientated thereby the need for fencing, dugouts etc. In other <br /> words they must comply with the standards or they do not receive <br /> approval. The concession stand/press box is being requested <br /> because they must pay younger children for maintenance and pay <br /> for the umpire to officiate the games, the concession stand <br /> profits are the only income to the league. <br /> 3 <br />
